Projects in the Limerick area

RM Ruari McBride Public Seen by 469

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knows of any collaborative housing/farming projects in the Limerick area? I am moving there with my partner and daughter and we are looking for a community to join, and failing that to perhaps start something.

Cheers,
Ruari

Others might have a more direct response.

But in case they don't, I wanted to put you in the direction of the Limerick Food Co-op - Urban Co-op. http://www.theurbanco-op.ie/ Wonderful group of people - good community to be a part of - and likely that collaborative housing people in Limerick would frequent there.

Hi Ruari,
Yes the urban co-op would be a good starting point in Limerick. Also it would be worth visiting Cloughjordan, we have a community farm that is worth seeing and an emerging co-housing project. A lot goes on here and if you want to know more give me a shout, [email protected]
Cheers,
Davie

Hi Ruari, great to find this post here. You might remember me- we met at Housing Ourselves in Cloughjordan in autumn. I started a Facebook page for people in the Limerick area and hope to have a meeting soon. https://www.facebook.com/cohousingLimerick/

Hey Gabriela, yes I remember. I live in Cloghjordan now. We are working to establish a cohousing project still. The conference is happening again soon, on June 9th. Will you be able to make it?
